The reason the majority of district events are held in high schools is not lack of availability of colleges - it's cost. The college events you see are funded in part by massive donations. It's a pretty tall order to rely on them entirely.
I'm not saying venue selection is impossible, but it'll definitely be harder than you seem to think it is. |
High schools alone there aren't too many but there are huge schools

Are a bunch of high schools with huge facilities with big teams along with being in 3 different bouroughs. In long island most schools could host an event but 329 (patchouge medford) comes to mind immediately. I've been to their school multiple times and with 2 giant adjacent gyms im sure they could manage something. Half hollow hills also hosts an off season event every year although i don't know if it is quite big enough for a district event. I believe 358 has a large school along with long wood most likely being a spot (the superintendent is a huge supporter of first and runs something with sbpli)
With the hundreds of teams in the area comes hundreds of schools and many of them are quite giant.
